SyncedYour calendar is only useful if things actually get on it.
You read the email, think "I should add that," and then... don't. By the time you remember, it's too late.
The email came in Tuesday. It's now Friday morning. Your kid is the only one in regular clothes — because it never made it to the calendar.
Work meetings, sure. Birthdays, sure. But homework and school events? Almost never — because manually entering them takes too long.
